   Here is a small sample of BMX racing back in the day.  Most of the photos were taken from 79-89 ( the years I raced ).  Enjoy.

Frank Post at the winter nats in Chandler, Az.  Frank Post lives around the corner from me.

Brian Torres ( 9 expert ) racing for Newark Schwinn.

Jerry Aroyo jumping over Factory Skyway Pilot Rick Palmer at Red Devil.  I just spoke to Jerry last night and he's picking up a redline today.  He might be racing again. He'll be in the 46-50 cruiser class.

	Here's a video clip I found on BMX Action. They were interviewing Jason Jenson and Greg Liggins at Fremont BMX. Im #26 behind Liggins during both of his apperances. You can see me with a trophy in my hand. I finished 2nd behind Greg. Also, there's a part when they show Jason Jenson in the lead and Jenson gets SWOOPED by Anthony Wadley in the last turn !!!!!!! Shawna Cordora was also featured. She also raced for my father's team ( Newark Schwinn ) back in the day. Very kewl footage !!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvbsnPwnuHs Edited by Serafin - August 06 2008 at 1:34am
